You gotta figure Santa would need a fast car since his slay flies at the speed of light.

A supercharged mustang GT can be faster than a stock GT500, but the GT500 has way more potential due to forged internals and more displacement, but for the price it's just not worth getting either. Stock mustang GT $26,500, whipple HO supercharger $5,700, install for supercharger $0, do it yourself it's freaking easy, Showing your tail lights to the fat old guy in the stock GT500, priceless!
There is a fat old guy with a GT500 in my little hick town, helooks like santa claus, no bull****, but i've yet to line up next to him.SantaClaus if you're reading this(red gt500 with white stripes) prepare yourself for the asswhoopin you are about to receive.

Side note- Using the logic from this arguement, a S/C Shelby GT would be cheaper, almost as fast, and a TRUE Shelby, compared to the GT500. Hmmmmm.... What do you guys/gals think about that?

RE: Shelby GT Vs. CS6
See, what A said up top is what made me consider this in the first place. The CS6 is way more unique AND attainable, than any other Shelby badged car. Dash plaque, or not, it is called a Shelby car, so that would mean something in certain circles. I know I could put together a custom car, with all my own parts choices, for less, but if I ever decided to shift gears and sell it, I'm just not sure it would bring as much as even a CS6, nevermind a Shelby GT w/ or w/o FI. Just got back from lunch, so I'll get that price comparison up asap...

You could also just purchase the appearance stuff from the kit,(Hood, Fascia, Rims, etc. etc.) and put them on a GT. Build your suspension and drivetrain the way you want with the parts you want.

RE: Shelby GT Vs. CS6
Shelby bs. Just a reworked regular old gt;gears,minimal exterior body add ons, cheap ford racing cai, cheap for tuning, prm. octane upgrade, gtas.Shelby gt won't be a collector's item. All ford did was confuse people. When you tell people you got a new shelby, there gonna be looking for the gt500, not the shelby(regular old gt). Just some old man looking to make some money off his name. Hey you think maybe the roush stage 1 will be a collector's item? Haha. Anyone looking into a shelby gt, just get a regulaer gt, save a lot of money and do some proper mods.Just get a gt and you'll be happy with it.

I would have to vote the same way. I've thought for a long time that Shelby was just whoring his name out to bring in the cash.
Unless collectibility is your thing then the Shelby GT is vastly overpriced for what it is.
For the CS6, while it looks good, they are forcing you to put the Paxton SC on it, which personally wouldn't be at the top of my forced induction list.
Really it all depends on what you are going for. Personally I would rather take a base model and put the mods on that I want. Costs less, more performance, and I am all about track et's.
Either way they are both slow for the amount of money you pay. I vote neither.

This is the best post of that thread so far...
Do it yourself from a base car and you'll have a unique Stang. You'll be cheaper than the Roushes,Saleen ,Steeda,Shelbys and all the other bullsh#ters out there selling their name.
